The Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership (GaPMP), an initiative by the Georgia Department of Education, supports school systems across the state in their efforts to promote family engagement in education. School systems who are members of the GaPMP hire a parent of a child receiving special education services in the role of Parent Mentor to be a local resource for families and educators. Through a unique parent perspective the Mentor works to promote home, school, and community partnerships with the ultimate goal of greater student achievement.

My name is Renee Davis, and I am the Parent Mentor for Douglas County. I work part-time during the school year, and my job includes being available to assist parents with questions you may have about the special education process and/or community resources. I also work with special education staff to provide a parent's point of view and hold parent-friendly informational workshops throughout the school year. Please check "Related Documents" on a regular basis for helpful information and upcoming events.

I look forward to working with you as we help our children reach their fullest potential!
